Professional services time and project data connected to the accounts

Billable Time Shouldn't Get Lost Between Systems

Engineering, architecture and consulting firms sell time and expertise, so the numbers that matter are billable hours, fees, unbilled work (WIP) and project margins. In many firms, time is recorded in one tool, projects managed in another, invoices raised in Xero or MYOB, and the picture of WIP and project profit pieced together in spreadsheets at month-end.

If a practice or professional services system does all of that for you, use it. We help when the pieces don't connect: time that doesn't flow to invoicing, project data the accounts can't see, firms that moved off WorkflowMax and never got their reporting back, or several systems that each hold part of the story.

Built and supported by Kenomont: founder-led, Gold Coast based, with 20+ years building business systems, including executive reporting dashboards and real-time integrations we have run for clients since 2015.

Signs the Systems Aren't Connected

If several of these apply, billable work and margin are slipping through the gaps.

  • Time is recorded in one tool and invoices raised in another
  • Unbilled work and WIP are worked out in a spreadsheet
  • Project profitability is only known after the project ends
  • Utilisation and billable hours are estimated, not measured
  • Invoicing waits for someone to pull timesheets together
  • Reporting was lost when you moved off WorkflowMax
  • Project managers can't see costs against fees
  • Several entities or offices are combined by hand
